I’ve used it with a lot of success. There are two versions: The cheap one (which works fine) and the more expensive model (which has a boost – that I love – and a tuner – that I also love).

You can also try one of these sound hole covers for your sound hole – it’s a cheap solution that has worked for a lot of guitar player friends of mine.

Should I record with an acoustic electric guitar?

Yes – but don’t plug it in.

You’re better off directly mic-ing your acoustic guitar.

As I mentioned earlier – pickups can make your guitar sound unnatural.

That’s it. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
